Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams is from Nico's debut solo album, Chelsea Girl. Lou Reed's dark, beautiful lyrics paired with Larry Fallon's string and flute arrangements create a most enjoyable acostical tune. It is one of my favorites from this album, and ever so fitting in NYC's current weather conditions.
The minimal string section and peculiar snowy sounding guitars accented with the flutist trills create a haunting orchestral quality that brings more a intimate reality around chanteuse Nico's monotone lament. It is esoteric perfection.
Thank you Nico//The Velvet Underground for the warm pool of luminous darkness in which I have swam this dreary day.
Rapt in Beats and Love,
Benna
